DepYou could attempt the non-selfish kind and just donate it all to an independent health/rescue org like Red Cross/Red Crescent.

You could also go the kinda-selfish route like Alfred Nobel, known in his time as the merchant of death. Make an elaborate award&grant giving scheme for exceptional contributions to society in a variety of fields; boosting said contributions for many years. Would only recommend this route if you’ve got more than enough coin to spare, as the overhead of ensuring ethical operation is significant.

If you’ve got a house, you could transfer ownership to a trust/foundation/housing coop, to make it available for living at below market price.

I’d donate to various free software & open hardware projects important to societal improvement; like Mozilla, certain fediverse projects, PostmarketOS, Fairphone, etc. Also anarchist orgs.

Very engaging read

Nooooo

Well, there’s REISUB https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key

Neat stuff!

Well, sort of. There are plenty of laws that don’t need to be accepted by all UN member states, in order to be effective.

If you get a majority of states, the UN can maybe make it official law for all UN member states. This opens up the possibility of international sanctions being placed on all states that don’t follow the law.

Certainly, even if every rich guy and shady corp in the world placed their hidden wealth in your country; you might still want to be allowed to trade with other countries, and not have your government leaders jailed if they ever set foot outside of your borders

Hurray! Now we just need the majority of other states, too. It’s certainly a step towards a brighter future

I’m working on free software to do real-time translation of speeches at conferences and such, from Norwegian to English or {insert language}.

Using Whisper and TTS on a server, and a web interface accessed on the participants’ smartphone/device.

I mean, that kind of board has existed for a while. They’re usually called AI-accelerator boards, IIRC

Yup yup yup, would not recommend. I still binged it though, which is something I’ve got trouble with when it comes to ZeroCalcare’s latest series; which I love. I guess I’m in a ‘braindead entertainment’ kinda mood these weeks

I’ve also used a pinetime running infinitime for the past year, and I agree that it’s not exactly feature rich. I like it though.

I’ve heard that ‘bangle.js’ is an open source watch as well, with a decent feature set.

Great post! I’ve often used low cost as an argument for choosing open source software in my [IRL] communities, as the other advantages aren’t that successful when talking to people on a personal level. This post elaborates on those other advantages in a convincing way.

Out of curiousity, why not use a Windows 10 VM? Those signed ISOs should be readily available. windows 7 is a bit too vulnerable to be allowed internet access even in a VM, imo

So sad seeing people hurt others who’re just trying to get their fair share and make a slightly better life for themselves and their family

What do you like doing?

I’ve been thinking of getting a hybrid inverter (rather than manually moving loads between grid power and inverter/solar power). How much did it set you back?

I’ve had four cases that I know of, and three vaccines. Struggling with serious brain fog, though not sure covid is the cause

Interesting! This was my desktop wallpaper on KDE Plasma yesterday, and it’s cool to see the explanation

Interesting radio interview as well
